Did you Get a Google Affiliate Network Newsletter?

2x-g2.jpgWhen I woke up this morning I found a newsletter from Performics telling me they are now Google Affiliate Network. I recall they were bought up by Google 2 years ago, I think. And Google has truly got there name on a Affiliate Network and will no longer just be know for search (and all the great tools and aps they also give us for free) but they will make commissions of products sales. I bet they get their Google checkout (probably already have) plugged into their Affiliate payment gateway both for the consumer and the affiliate marketer. The Internet evolution continues….

“We are pleased to introduce Google Affiliate Network . Effective Monday, June 30, 2008, DoubleClick Performics Affiliate will operate as Google Affiliate Network. The integration with Google’s brand is a reflection of efforts to quickly assimilate our business and teams, as well as reinforce Google’s commitment to the Affiliate channel. Together with our new colleagues at Google we are creating new opportunities for monetization, expansion and innovation in Affiliate Marketing.

Writers Strike

I have only loosely been following the writers strike in Hollywood. But after a little looking I found the video on youtube that gives the “quick lowdown” on what started the thing back on Nov. 1 2007. I’ll post that here.

Being a publisher online involved in marketing and advertising I think that the Networks are being unfair. I urge those who have not to sign up the petition, watch the vid, read the blogs and support the writers. They give “birth” to the scripts and should get the extra 4 cents on residuals. The intenet should be helping people make money not stopping them.

Intel to hip hop

One only has to look to marketing to see who won the music wars back in late 80’s and early 90’s. We all know how powerful a jingle or tune can impact a consumer. Think Sprint’s “Pin Drop” sound. Or when you boot windows you are greeted with nice set of notes that make you almost feel, like the screen says, “welcome to windows.”

With that in mind let’s take a look at what Intel has done recently.

“While hip-hop artists frequently mention favorite brands in their songs, it’s pretty safe to say that tech stalwart Intel Corp. hasn’t been one of them — until now. And rather than rely on serendipity for a shout-out, Intel took matters into its own hands and commissioned a song from hip-hop/R&B musician Sean Kingston.” read rest of that article

On top of paying the artist, they  sponsored the website, made up a video, and of course ringtones  and let the world know that hip hop has Gotta Move Faster which is also the name of the Song that gives a Shout out to Centrino as the song opens. Check it out for yourself. Here
